Yup. It is distinct because of historic differences in how the two were implemented.. I'm not interested in putting any more work into the `deps` attribute of pkg_tar, especially in...

There are two independent issues here: 1. hermetic vs. local python. 2. Go vs. python. For 1, the answer is simple. Don't use hermetic python - locally installed is always...

Debian 6.5.3, bazel 6.4.0 RPM version 4.18.0 And, now that I list the rpmbuild version, I remember that rpmbuild has some breaking changes between versions. That may be a clue....

@nacl IIRC, there were some changes between recent rpmbuild versions which we had to work around to achieve backwards compatibility. One was around [SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH at 4.14.0](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/blob/8e5570cf4423c097847172d3e32cd7d89d4d23bb/tests/rpm/source_date_epoch/rpm_contents_vs_manifest_test.py#L45) [This line](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/blob/8e5570cf4423c097847172d3e32cd7d89d4d23bb/toolchains/rpm/rpmbuild_configure.bzl#L46) suggests that...

I don't think it is an exception. I want to be able to change that API at will. For example, the entire bit about splicing in previous tar files should...

I am unavailable for the next week or two, so I can't look deeply until March. That aside, this seems too complex at first. All you needed for a test...

I think this is not an effective test. It sets up the bad condition within the test harness instead of creating the problem situation with normal inputs such as pkg_files...

Bazel releases are available. https://tracker.debian.org/teams/bazel/ We probably need an update, but you should ask that question in github.com/bazelbuild/bazel. Is your question really, does rule_pkg provide an upload to ppa command?...

We have `pkg_deb()` to create the package, so the first part is done. It sounds like you want to build a wrapper around dput. If you are interested in doing...
